The given ratio is 6 : 7

The given options are :

A) 24 : 28

Since 24 can be divisible by 6 and 28 can be divisilbe by 7

24 ÷ 6 = 4

28 ÷ 7 = 4

the quotient of both the divisible are same

Thus,

24 : 28 can be written as 6 : 7

B) 18 : 28

18 can be divisible by 6

18 ÷ 6 = 3

28 can be divisible by 7

28÷ 7 = 4

But the quotient of both the divisibility is not same

So, 18 : 28 can not be written as 6 : 7

C) 12 : 14

12 can be divisible by 6

12 ÷ 6 = 2

14 can be divisible by 7

14 ÷ 7 = 2

The quotient of both the divisiblity is same

So, 12 : 14 can be express as 6 : 7

D) 18 : 14

18 can be divisible by 6

18 ÷ 6 = 3

14 can be divisible by 7

14 ÷ 7 = 2

The quotient of both the divisibility are not same

So, 18 : 14 cannot be express as 6 : 7

E) 24 : 14

24 can be divisible by 6

24 ÷ 6 = 4

14 can be divisible by 7

14 ÷ 7 = 2

The quotient of both the divisibility are not same

So, 24 : 14 cannot be express as 6 : 7

F) 18 : 21

18 can be divisible by 6

18 ÷ 6 = 3

21 can be divisible by 7

21 ÷ 7 = 3

The quotient of both the divisibility are same

So, 18 : 21 can be express as 6 : 7

G)12 : 28

12 can be divisible by 6

12 ÷ 6 = 2

28 can be divisible by 7

28 ÷ 7 = 4

The quotient of both the divisibility are not same

So, 12 : 28 cannot be express as 6 : 7

H) 12 : 21

12 can be divisible by 6

12 ÷ 6 = 2

21 can be divisible by 7

21 ÷ 7 = 3

The quotient of both the divisibility are not same

So, 12 : 21 cannot be express as 6 : 7

The three ratio that are equal to 6 : 7 are

24 : 28, 12 : 14 & 18 : 21

Answer :

A) 24 : 28

C) 12 : 14

F) 18 : 21
